Shenweihong glanced at the exhausted senior sister: "Writing novels cannot avoid sitting for a long time. If you don't want to grow ugly swimming rings on your waist, I suggest you exercise more."

He did see it yesterday!Who else knows how to grow a swimming ring? This junior is still so annoying when he speaks!

"Then what purpose did you catch up with, to show off your athletic ability?"

she said coldly.

"Of course not for this reason. If you want to show off your athletic ability, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to speed up and overtake you?"

Shenweihong was puzzled.

Is this the point?Don't you know what irony is? !

This unexpected answer made the senior sister laugh angrily, "Since you didn't want to show off, did you come here to say some new riddle? Get out if you have nothing to do. I don't want to see you now."

"What's the purpose of chasing after the author?"

Shenweihong took "Love Metronome" out of his schoolbag and handed it to her: "So, please sign it."

sign?

Kasumigaoka-senpai was stunned for a moment, then took the book blankly, and looked down, Sayuka on the cover showed a proud expression, it was the final version that she discussed with the artist all afternoon.

Very familiar paintings, familiar books.

After a while, she realized that she put the book on her lap in silence. The cold feeling was the same as the girl's heart: "So, are you here to humiliate me?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because no one wants an autograph for a novel that is about to be cut in half! This novel is a failure, no one will buy it, no one will like it, and there are basically bad reviews on the Internet!"

She raised the novel angrily, trying to throw it on the ground, but her expression kept changing, and finally she put the book down in a slump.

"I am, a failed writer."

He leaned against the back of the chair, lowered his head and looked down, his long hair covered his face, only the voice could be heard.

"Just like a clown..."

I remembered what happened at the Novel Awards.

She was dissatisfied with winning the Bronze Award, and wanted to let go after the official release, but was hit by reality instead. Recalling her expression at that time, she felt a burning pain on her face.

"This is a bit hurtful. Senior sister said so, and she will still support you in the second volume. What will people who bought the novel think?"

"It's just attracted by illustrations. That's the illustrator's credit, not mine."

This is, completely lost confidence.

The so-called pride and low self-esteem are actually one. Many people just use a mask of pride to hide their low self-esteem. Although there are people who are naturally proud, at least Kasumigaoka Shiwa in front of him is not such a person.

It seemed that the signature would not be available for a while, so Shenwei Hong scratched his head, and simply went to the side to buy two cans of drinks, and took out one and handed it to her.

"Thank you..." The girl thanked in a low voice, then opened it and took a sip.

"puff!"

Then, it was sprayed out immediately.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shenweihong quickly took back the novel on his lap to avoid getting dirty.

The sweet and greasy feeling spread from the mouth, and the red bean and oozy rice cake seemed to seal the throat. Kasumigaoka Shiwa couldn't bear this feeling, and sprayed it out in an instant.

"Ahem, ahem, what is this?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the bottle, "Red bean rice cake soup? Why does the convenience store here sell this?"

"Girls like to eat sweets, so I bought this."

"This thing is either sweet or greasy. Forget it, I'm not blessed to take it. Next time you buy it for today's date, try it and see how she responds to you."

"I'll try it on April Fool's Day."

"You are really teasing me. You are obviously just an arrogant junior, so why can't you show even a little more respect to your senior sister?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked at Kamihiro unhappily, but the latter smiled.

"Yes, that's the right attitude. The self-pity and self-abandonment just now is really not like you."

"Don't say you know me well."

"Although I don't know you well, this book tells me a lot. Senior," waving the novel in his hand again, Kamui Hong looked at her: "You wrote a private novel, right?"

"Aren't all light novels like this? Everyone writes the No.1 narrative technique." Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked back.

Private novels, a popular way of writing since the Taisho period.The broad explanation is: Anyone who uses No. 1 method to narrate the story is called private novel.This is what Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu expressed.

But the scope is too broad, and most people tend to interpret it in a narrow sense: any author who describes the trivial things and psychological activities around the individual in isolation from the background of the time and social life is called a private novel.

According to Kume Masao, who proposed the concept of "private novel", it is a novel in which the author directly exposes himself.

"Although I have only read your light novel, I don't know how others see it, but I think it is still obvious that you have brought yourself into the heroine Sayuka, and in order to prevent others from seeing it, you spent A lot of pages describe the perspective of the hero Naoto, and evaluate Sayuka's words and deeds from the perspective of others."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's eyes changed.

Kamui Hiro didn't care, and continued: "But whether this narration or the evaluation of the male protagonist, it's all about your evaluation of Sayuka, that is, yourself in the third person. At first glance, Naoto thinks that Sayuka is arrogant and self-willed, why? It looks like a troublesome woman, but after getting along for a long time, I realized that the so-called pride is just Sayuka's protective color."

"A real girl has a little low self-esteem, and chooses to use her poisonous tongue and pride as her armor. At the end of the first volume, she even denies that she has a good impression of a straight person in her heart. After reading this, female readers must also think of this young feeling. Shall we go?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's expression became more and more moved the more he heard it, and Kamui Hong smiled and continued, "It's a beautiful way to hide this, which is worthy of praise."

"And the male protagonist is also the same. You are not a boy, you use your own imagination to mix the characteristics of the youth in the current society, and write a character that you think is the most suitable for you. From the perspective of male readers, you will also resonate with one of these characteristics. "

"So, this love metronome is more like a girl's description of what she thinks she is about love. The greenness makes people who come here smile knowingly. In terms of the evaluation of the novel, I think it is worth reading, it is not bad novel."

What kind of person has come here, he is only in the first grade, so he pretends to be an adult.Xiazhiqiu Shiyu turned his face away, and said somewhat unwillingly: "But as you can see, it is a novel that is about to be cut in half."

Oops, why do you feel a little happy in your heart?

Chapter 27 Friendship

"How should I put it, in my opinion, it's not surprising to be cut in half."

"......why?"

The girl raised her head.Looking at Shenweihong, he asked in bewilderment, "Is there something wrong with the description, or is the plot unrealistic?"

"Neither, the fundamental problem is very simple, you have chosen the wrong carrier."

Wrong choice, carrier?What does this mean?

"Why do you say that?"

"Sister, have you paid attention to the sales ranking of light novels this quarter?"

"No, I'm not interested in the list of toilet paper."

So vicious!Then why did you choose light novels? If you want to stand out in this industry full of toilet paper, is the strategy you came up with writing romance novels? !

"...Although it is a bit extreme, your answer also reveals the reality. Judging from the current sales, the trend of buying illustrations and giving toilet paper is very popular in the industry."

"Take "The Dark Fairy of Explosive Flame" as an example of the No. [-] sales list in the quarter. I read the trial reading part. How should I say it? If you compare writing or emotional description, your work is much stronger, but the sales volume is completely different. on the contrary."

Shenweihong said calmly: "Because of light novels, there is no need to occupy a light word. Although many light novels are private novels written in your mouth, the essence of light novels is novels that readers can easily read."

After understanding the meaning of his words, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu remained silent.

"I'll just say it straight. Your novel is a romance novel disguised as a light novel. The story of Sayuka and Naoto needs to be read slowly. It is not suitable for light novels that are more and more fast-food culture."

It's not that the quality of the novel is not good, but the wrong choice - his words convey this meaning.

"And, your second volume." Taking out the second volume of "Love Metronome" from his schoolbag, Kamui Hong pointed to the strange woman on the cover: "Even if I haven't read it much, just look at the cover and the above. I also know from the single-volume synopsis that your idea is to add another character and turn the ordinary girl-meets-boy kingly story into a conflicted love triangle to attract readers."

"This is probably after the first volume, you saw that the sales volume was not as expected, and you took remedial measures. But now it seems to be counterproductive."

Indeed, sales of the second volume fell instead of rising.The girl thought to herself, but she still asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the sales volume of the first volume was unsatisfactory, but there are still many readers who like this kind of young love story, and your novel has indeed attracted some readers. But after the release of the second volume, readers found that the plot changed from a young one-line The love story has turned into a love triangle, and readers feel that they have been cheated, and it is normal not to buy it."

"That's why sales are down again."

He concluded his evaluation with this sentence.

After that, neither of them spoke for a while, the senior was thinking, Kamui Hiroshi was drinking a drink to replenish the water in his mouth, and when he drank the last sip of the drink in the jar, Kasumigaoka-senpai broke the silent air.

"Really, cleverness is mistaken by cleverness." Kasumigaoka-senpai smiled wryly, but tears ran down her cheeks: "In other words, it's not that Sayuka's story was rejected, right?"

For Kasumigaoka-senpai, who regards Sayuka as her clone, being rejected for Sayuka's story is tantamount to her being rejected.

Very rich adolescent girls, extreme thinking.

"Yes, it's just a matter of style."

"Really..." She wiped away her tears with her hands, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing down.

"It's really nice."

Shen Weihong looked into the distance, the setting sun had already appeared in the sky, and the housewives who were chatting and laughing just now also took their children home in twos and threes, and there were only two of them left in the small park.

"So, back to the topic at the beginning." Then handed the book to the senior sister: "Can you sign it for me?"

"Ah, yes." Skillfully signed the three Chinese characters Xia Shizi on the title page, the senior sister looked at Shen Weihong: "Is there any blessing you want?"

"Just wish me the lottery to draw [-] million yen as soon as possible." The boy's wish is worldly and realistic: "This will save me a lot of effort."

"It's really a realistic wish, junior. From a female point of view, it won't add any points."

How important is money to add points?

Kamui Hong continued to hand over the other copy, the senior stopped signing and looked up at her.

The eyes were slightly red and swollen due to crying, and the action of wiping the tears also wiped off the mascara, making the girl look younger than usual, Kasumigaoka Shiwa asked seriously:

"Is my novel a novel that you think is worth reading?"

"Yes, although it will definitely not sell well, I think it is a very good novel."

"You obviously haven't read the second volume yet?"

"Even if you only read the first volume, it is worth such an evaluation."

Anyway, the price is only [-] yen, no matter how much you lose, it is only the price of a bottle of canned coffee.

"Then wait for you to finish reading the second volume, and come to me for an autograph."

Taking back the signature pen, the girl stood up from the bench and stretched herself.
